In a shift in the academic calendar at Hope College, the college's May, June and Summer
terms have all been scheduled to run four weeks each beginning this year.

In the past, the May and June terms each ran for three weeks, while the Summer Session ran for six. The change allows adequate time for the teaching of four-credit courses, a credit standard that is part of the college's new core curriculum, according to Jon Huisken, who is dean for academic services and registrar. Some individual courses are scheduled for less than the four full weeks as their needs require. May Term will run Monday, May 8, through Friday, June 2. June Term will run Monday, June 5, through Friday, June 30. July Term will run Wednesday, July 5, through Friday, July 28. The college's one-week "Summer Seminars" will meet Monday-Friday, July 31-Aug. 4. A schedule of the courses being offered during the May, June and July terms, as well as of the "Summer Seminars," may be obtained at the Office of the Registrar at Hope. Located on the main floor of the DeWitt Center, 141 E. 12th St., the office may be called at (616) 395-7760.
